VICTORY THROUGH FAITH
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ
You will be equipped with power to live this life
Every child of God defeats this evil world
That is what he says in his precious word.
You cannot have victory over sin through your own strength
Only through Christ can you win and straighten what’s bent
Grow your faith because it is the only thing that saves
Believe that Christ is the only one who will make you brave.
________________________________________
Many believers try to overcome sin in their own strength. I used to do this before I became born again. It never really brought victory in my life. I was always striving to be good. When I became a born again, the Lord revealed to me that I didn’t have to do all the work. He taught me how to rely on his strength instead of on doing this on my own.
The reason why many believers are not able to overcome evil is because they do the work that only God can do. They do not live under his grace. We can only expose the tactics of the enemy if we grow our faith and believe in God’s power. We will not be able to win over Satan without faith.

VICTORY THROUGH FAITH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will ensue
It is waiting eagerly and abiding in him and in what is true
For every child of God wins over this wicked world
We will have victory by confessing his powerful word.
Don’t ever lose hope when you can’t see results
God knows what’s best, so do not revolt
Keep on growing your faith so you can win
It is the best way you can overcome sin.

One of the best verses about faith is the centurion’s story in Matthew 8. In ancient Rome, “centurion” meant “captain of 100”. The backbone of the Roman army were the centurions who were legionaries. The centurion received pay that amounted to more than 20 times the ordinary soldiers pay, about 5,000 denarii per year.
In Matthew’s account, the centurion stooped down in humility and asked Jesus to heal one of his servants who was paralyzed and in terrible pain. The officer’s words “I am not worthy to have you come in my house, but only say the word and my servant will be healed,” is one of the strongest manifestations of faith. Jesus himself was amazed by him. Because of his faith, he was granted healing for his servant.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a faith that never wavers.
REFLECTION
Why do you think faith is the foundation of victory over sin?
